Experience: 10 - 15 Yrs

Location: Bangalore

Position Name: Hardware Lead – VCU & Cluster Systems (EV Platform)

Key Responsibilities

1. System Architecture & Platform Definition

- Define and own hardware architecture for:

- MCU-based control systems
- SOM-based compute platforms with modem and application processors

• Drive system-level decisions on:
- Compute partitioning and peripheral allocation
- Power architecture and domain separation

• Ensure designs are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with product roadmap 2. Communication Interfaces & System Integration

• Design and implement robust, high-reliability communication frameworks between distributed vehicle subsystems

- Evaluate interface technologies based on:

- Bandwidth, latency, determinism, and reliability requirements

• Architect communication to support:
- High-speed data transfer
- Low-speed control and diagnostics
- Redundancy and fallback mechanisms

• Ensure reliable operation under electrical noise, EMI/EMC constraints, and real-world disturbances 3. Hardware Design & Development

• Lead schematic design and multi-layer PCB development for mixed-signal and high-speed systems

- Enforce robust design practices around:





- Signal integrity, power integrity, and grounding
- Layout discipline for high-speed and noise-sensitive circuits

• Conduct rigorous design and layout reviews 4. Component Selection & Platform Optimization

- Own selection of:

- Microcontrollers for control systems
- SOM modules for compute platforms
- Memory (DDR, eMMC, Flash) and key peripherals
- Power components (DC-DC, LDOs, protection devices)

• Balance performance, BOM cost, and long-term availability

- Drive multi-source strategies to mitigate supply chain risks

5. Cost, Sourcing & Manufacturability

• Drive BOM cost optimization while maintaining product quality

- Ensure component lifecycle alignment and sourcing resilience
- Design for:

- DFM / DFA / DFT
- Efficient manufacturing and test coverage

• Collaborate with EMS partners for production readiness 6. EMI/EMC & Compliance

• Own strategies to achieve first-pass or near first-pass EMI/EMC compliance

- Implement best practices in:

- Grounding, filtering, and shielding

• Drive pre-compliance validation and certification readines
